"Macron Condemns Russia's 'Bizarre and Threatening' Remarks in Rare Phone Call"

French President Macron dismisses as "ridiculous" Russia's suggestion that Ukraine and France had a role in the deadly Moscow concert hall attack, calling it a manipulation of information and part of Russia's warfare arsenal. Macron's comments came after a rare phone call between the French and Russian defense ministers, with diverging media statements afterward. Despite Russia's attempts to link Ukraine and the West to the attack, France firmly condemned the assault and reiterated support for Kyiv.
